Senior housing developer seeks revisions

The developers of an approved senior housing building on Ridge Avenue will seek city approval today to make the planned building shorter.

Michael McLean of Condor Partners LLC says the revised design will reduce the height of the building at 1815 Ridge Ave. from 10 to nine stories.

The plan also increases the height of the northernmost section of the building, which had been just four stories, to seven stories.

The new plans, going before the Design and Project Review Committee this afternoon, keep the same unit count -- 163 -- for the building.

But they shift the unit mix from the originally approved plans for 33 independent living, 69 assisted living and 61 memory care units to 41 independent living, 88 assisted living and 34 memory care units.
